Part of it is acknowledging that not all things are for all people, particularly when it comes to cultural activities.

But it was a silly campaign; being open to giving everything a chance is one thing. But my life or yours is not necessarily impoverished by the lack of a specific enthusiasm, nor is your life less enriched by my inability to connect with all of your passions and interests.
